Information

For Your

Important Safeguards and Precautions

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON THE UNIT

INSTALLATION

1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION

Operate only from a power source indicated on the unit or in this manual. If necessary, have your Electric Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer verify the power source in your home.

2 POLARIZED OR GROUNDING PLUG

As a safety feature, this product comes with either a polarized power cord plug (one blade is wider

than the other), or a three-wire grounding type plug. POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION: This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot

fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION: This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding

outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.

3 POWER CORD

Make sure power cords are routed so that they

are not likely to have anything rest on them, roll

over them, or be in the way of walking traffic.

If an extension cord is used, make sure it also

has either a polarized or grounded plug and that

the cords can be securely connected.

Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or

cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should

be replaced by a qualified service technician.

Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire

hazards and should be avoided.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat

generated during operation. If they are blocked,

heat build-up inside the unit can cause failures that

may result in a fire hazard or heat damage to

cassettes or discs.

For protection, follow these rules:

a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in

use, or operate the unit when placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.

b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case

or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.

5 PLACEMENT: AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS

OR SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place the unit over or near heater or

radiator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles,

in high temperature [over 104°F (40°C)], or in over

75% humidity. If the unit is suddenly moved from

a cold place to a warm one, moisture may

condense in the unit and on the tape causing

damage. Never subject the unit to vibration,

impact, or place it so that the surface is tilted as

internal parts may be seriously damaged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

• Do not place unsecured equipment on a sloping surface.

• Do not place this unit on any support that is not firm, level, and adequately strong. The unit could fall causing serious injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.

• An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

• Carefully follow all operating instructions and use the manufacturer's recommended accessories when operating this unit or connecting it to any other equipment.

1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up static charges and voltage surges. Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code, in USA Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.

KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS

An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.

If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location, refer first to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.

KEEP THE UNIT AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE OF ANY KIND.

2 IF EQUIPMENT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR

STRONG IMPACT, unplug the unit and have it inspected by a

qualified service technician before use.

3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM

During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or before leaving the unit unused for extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as the antenna and cable system.

4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN

• Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT OPERATE

• Never drop or push any object through openings in the unit.

• Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set

5 USING ACCESSORIES

Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risk of fire, shock, or other hazards.

6 CLEANING THE UNIT

Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep into the unit and cause electrical shock. Any substance such as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal parts.

To record again

Cover the hole with cellophane tape.

Cleaning DECK

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation holes on the back sides and bottom of the cabinet. Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using a non-abrasive, antistatic cleaner and polisher.

■ Connecting Amplifier (5.1 ch Surround system)

Enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with multiple channel audio found on DVDs by connecting an amplifier and speakers. There are two types of connection, digital and analog.

A. Digital connection (DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector)

When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital bitstream or DTS bitstream is output from the DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector. When DECK is connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. [An optical digital audio cable (optional) is required when an optional Dolby Digital or DTS receiver is used.]

B. Analog connection (5.1 ch Analog Audio Output Connector)

Connect an amplifier with multi-channel audio input terminals. This DECK can decode Dolby Digital and DTS. There are no limitations on sampling frequency with this kind of connection.

Notes on connecting an optical digital audio cable (optional)

• Firmly connect the cable to the connector.

Caution for optical digital audio output connector:

• When connecting an amplifier (with an Optical Digital Input Connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, be sure to select “PCM” at “Dolby Digital” and “PCM” at “dts” of the Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output” (see p. 54). Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

• When a Dolby Digital/DTS receiver is connected, please select “Bitstream” at “dts” or “Dolby Digital” of the Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output”. If “PCM” is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 54.)

• Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.

Note:

• Some DTS receivers which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with DECK.
